my most 25 year old thought lately is "microwave chicken nuggets aren't inherently wet, no one reads instructions, these are almost better than the toaster oven"

WARNING! ANCIENT DISCOURSE WHINGING BCUZ A RANDOM POST ANNOYED ME: yknow if u wanna claim that the character you're drawing is aged up from the source material, you could at least update their design a bit. in bw2 they gave bianca glasses to show she's aged, it's like the most basic step possible.

gen z calling themselves zillenials is a really fascinating phenomenon. ik ur not a teenager anymore, a lot of us aren't.

also, for real, I would rather have a ton of people who hate AI arguing with me when I say we need to take its claims of utility seriously than see a bunch of guys on X talk about how they’re spending $20k a month on Claude tokens for their machine girlfriend, I mean my god how tedious

these why I left Bluesky posts are so annoying bc like yeah this site is a sanctimonious wasteland of libs but also I’d rather be here than the child porn website or the Brand Engagement Platform For Iowa Soccer Moms sorry

Apropos of the Jacob Geller allegations: Now's a good time to remember that being a rapist DOESN'T suffuse everything someone does. There is no ephemeral Aura of Rape that follows them, that you could have sniffed out. And that's why people deny it. Because a rapist can be anyone.

it took me years to finally realize this but its insane that the most popular model for being an artist nowadays is that you're conquering a mountain of the self. what if i wanted a different metaphor for my life and my work? what if i didnt wanna turn my passion into my lifeboat?

absolutely fucking incredible news for public health in canada that a safer supply organization successfully fought the constitutionality of drug possession trafficking laws for not providing any legal way to operate. selfless life-saving work that is actually being identified and respected as such.

i was gonna complain about how people who think mayo is gross r running from the truth, but then i ate my chicken and sriracha-mayochup and it was so good that i am at peace

2008 was a rotten tree but this seems like shoveling money into a furnace that produces industrial waste and nothing else

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
